it has been a long time since i have written a post that isn't centered around some pictures... but i just got back from seeing our pediatrician and the boys are asleep in the car (with Serdal - i didn't just leave them there!) so i thought i would share my excitement.
obviously, excitement means the appointment went well. We thought we would be getting some bad news today (about Ari's progress) since, over the last month, we had a case of stomach flu and changed the boys' schedule around quite a bit which impacted Ari's feeding. Well, i was dumbfounded to get the following results:
In the last 4 weeks, Ari has gained 450 grams (almost 1 pound!!). (Comparitively, at our last checkup, he had gained 110 grams (~4oz) in 3 weeks. So we went from 5 grams a day to 16 grams a day!) He now weighs 7.89kg (17lbs 6oz).
Saro continues to do well. He gained 400 grams and weighs 8.45kg (18 lbs 10 oz).
Though we still have frustrating feeding sessions that seem to go on forever, no actual drinking from sippy cups, and no ability to chew anything quite yet... both we and the doctor are ecstatic about their weight gain in the last month. I hope he keeps this up and we see great results again next month.
signing off with a sigh of relief...
